Patentability Search

A patentability search is a thorough investigation conducted to determine if an invention is eligible for a patent. It involves reviewing existing patents, scientific literature, and other public sources to assess whether the invention is novel and non-obvious compared to what has already been disclosed. This search helps inventors and companies evaluate the likelihood of obtaining a patent and avoiding potential legal issues. Essentially, it ensures that the invention is unique enough to qualify for legal protection before they invest time and resources in the patent application process.
